Hi all!
In November 2016, I've started a new project. I bought an old BUGSIER 3 for 'little money'. First I want to restore it, but then I decided to built a testvessel. I want to test Actioncams, RC-components, etc. on board.

When the vessel arrived, it looks like a wreck. I want to spend a new life to this poor baby.

When the hull was gutted, I laminated it with glass fiber inside :

The hull was sanded outside:

A friend of mine had an old superstructure of a BUGSIER tug. I change it for a cup of coffee . I built some new masts from brass pipes.

Lovely engine Arne! It's a pity that there is no sound from the exhaust of the 8 cylinder. I've cut bits and pieces from next movie and put them in a Beier module. Engine sound on track 1 and turbocharger sound on track 2. Sound module starts and stops with the electrical engine.
If you like to play with those items send me a mail with the info in what format you need the sounds. Unfortunately this is a 6 cylinder Deutz, but the sound is great. Regards, Klaas.

Looks great Arne! Seatrials done? I'm curious about the effect of the large rudder. How far will the rudder turn? More then 45 degrees? At my Bugsier it will be about 40 and with the transmitter on dual rate only 20. Sufficient for normal sailing. At full throttle too much speed for natural behaviour. Any ideas about testing programme? Regards, Klaas.
